Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 438 Speculation
On both sides of the formation, there were dozens of people sitting cross-legged bustlingly, including men and women, old and young, among whom were many Golden Core cultivators.

Tangning's consciousness swept over these people. When she swept over an old man with white beard and hair, she couldn't detect any fluctuations in spiritual power or any aura on his body, as if the whole person didn't exist at all.

His heart trembled, and he turned his head to look, only to see that this person was wearing a light yellow robe, sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

Being able to transcend the detection of his spiritual consciousness shows that he is at least a monk at the Nascent Soul level.

Tangning only cast a glance, then quickly looked away, for fear of causing this person's displeasure.

This person alone occupies a place in the east of the large teleportation formation, and no one dares to approach within ten feet around.

Tangning found an empty space in the northwest corner, sat cross-legged, and quietly waited for the teleportation array to open.

Not long after, many people came in from outside the hall one after another, looking for places to sit, but they all deliberately avoided the unpredictable old man.

About half an hour later, four black-clothed men came from outside the hall. They were all monks with a golden core cultivation level. They walked to the front of the teleportation formation and stood in four directions.

The four of them flipped their left hands, and each took out a small red flag. The four of them pointed at the flag, and the four small flags emitted a dazzling red light, which interweaved in the center of the formation and converged at one point.

The surrounding jade pillars and the lines carved on the ground started to wander as if they had life.

The older man among the four said, "Which one of you will come first?"

As soon as the words fell, the old man sitting cross-legged on the east side of the formation got up and walked to his side, handed him the number plate in his hand, and then walked into the teleportation formation.

The man took the number plate, flipped it over in his hand, and took out a palm-sized crimson token. At one point on it, the token emitted a crimson light, hitting the four rays of light intertwined in the formation.

In an instant, dozens of jade stones and array flags around the area burst into light, and the lights of various colors intertwined, and the dazzling people couldn't open their eyes.

This light lasted for more than ten breaths, and when it dissipated, the old man in the big formation had disappeared.

Everyone entered the formation one by one and was teleported away.

When it was Tangning's turn, he handed over the number plate to the man, and walked into the formation. The surroundings were filled with light, and he felt a haze of whiteness in front of him, and his head became dizzy. When he woke up, he was already in a hall.

The surrounding jade pillars, array flags, patterns, and symbols are exactly the same as those just now, but the appearance of the people guarding outside the array has changed.

Obviously, he was teleported and came to Xuanyi Island.

Tang Ning walked out of the formation, but the monks guarding the formation didn't care about her and turned a blind eye to her.

Surrounded by mountains outside, there are pavilions and pavilions between the peaks. After a short walk, you will come to a hall and pavilion, which is the management office here.

Inside, several men and women are sitting on the desk, dealing with affairs.

Tangning came up to a woman and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how do I get to Fire Ape Island? Is there a teleportation formation?"

The woman looked up at him: "There is no teleportation array to go to Fire Ape Island, you can go to Xingfan Chamber of Commerce and ask, maybe there is a transport ship to Fire Ape Island."

"How should the Xingfan Chamber of Commerce go?"

"Xingfan Chamber of Commerce headquarters is in the northeast, you just need to go there."

"Thank you for telling me."

.....................

Xingang, the main hall of the Qingyang Sect.

The head teacher Wang Xuquan and the senior officials of the three halls and three courtyards gathered together, everyone looked dignified and ugly.

The day before yesterday, the Blood Bone Sect raided the frontline camp, causing heavy casualties to the disciples of the Qingyang Sect, and Shen Wen, the master of the Qingxuan Palace, was killed.

"Junior Brother Zhao, tell me what's going on!" Wang Xuquan said with a livid face.

Zhao Gong coughed slightly: "The day before yesterday I went to Broken Ridge Mountain Square City to buy medicine pills, so I handed over the central array disk of the formation to my apprentice Zheng Jian, and told him to take good care of it and never leave the camp privately. As for the details One thing, because I am in Duanjishanfang City and not in Daying, so the specific situation is not very clear."

The formation of the Great Camp was suddenly shut down, which led to the invasion of the Demon Sect, and the Qingyang Sect suffered heavy losses and its vitality was severely injured. There is no doubt that he should bear the main responsibility for this matter.

Zhao Gong felt very ashamed, but he couldn't figure it out, he personally handed over the center of the formation to his disciple Zheng Jian, and told him that he must take good care of it.

How can this happen?He has always known Zheng Jian as a man, he is cautious and vigilant, how he shut down the formation at this critical moment, he tried his best but didn't understand the mystery.

Wang Xuquan was silent for a while: "Junior Brother Tao, how is your investigation going?"

The lower side has a wide mouth, and a white man on the sideburns said: "The Superintendent Department has launched an investigation on the disciples who fled back to the sect. According to them, the formation was closed around midnight, and it was only a few minutes before the demon sect entered the camp. , less than one stick of incense time before and after."

"Obviously, this incident was carefully planned and arranged by the Mozong. It is almost the same as the Xuanyue Mountain incident last time. It is certain that the Xuanyue Mountain incident last time was also a problem on our side. It should be the same person."

"Zheng Jian's body was not found. A disciple said that when the Demon Sect entered the camp, he saw a person coming out of the camp. He suspected it was Zheng Jian."

"Just grasp the situation now."

Wang Xuquan glanced at Zhao Gong and said, "Why did Zheng Jian make a big formation?"

Zhao Gong was full of doubts: "I don't know. When I handed over the formation disk to him, I clearly told him not to make a large formation, nor to give the formation disk to other people."

A middle-aged man below said: "This matter is not simple. The method is almost exactly the same as the attack on Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine last time. If the person who made the big formation is really Zheng Jian, he must have been deceived."

"But no matter what, he has no reason to carry the formation disk on his body to form a large formation. The question now is, who did he hand over the formation disk center to?"

"Who can gain his unreserved trust, willingly hand over the central formation disk, and secretly leave the formation. I think this will be the key for us to find the secret work inside."

Zhao Gongdao: "Master, I am responsible for the unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and there are serious suspicions. I am willing to accept the investigation of the sect."

"Brother Zhao, don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting you. I just think that things are too weird and unreasonable. Combined with what happened at Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine last time, the situation is almost exactly the same." said the man who just spoke.

"Let's think about it carefully. That time Junior Brother He left Xuanyue Mountain, and then the formation was closed. Before that, Xiao Sihua, who controlled the center of the formation, left the formation once."

"And this time, Senior Brother Zhao left the camp, and Zheng Jian, who controlled the center of the formation, also left the formation."

"Is this a coincidence? I think there must be a deep and coherent clue in it."

"Both of them have been deceived by others, but who can deceive the two of them and willingly hand over the center of the grand formation?"

"Also, these two people died in exactly the same way. When the Demon Sect entered the formation, no one had seen them, and they couldn't find their bodies."

As soon as he said this, everyone frowned and thought.

Wang Xuquan said: "What does Junior Brother Yang mean?"

The man surnamed Yang said: "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I think the problem must not be with Zheng Jian."

"He, like Xiao Sihua, was deceived by others. Going back to the question just now, who can gain their unreserved trust?"

"Xiao Sihua is a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, we don't know where they are."

"Brother Zhao, Zheng Jian is your apprentice. Based on what you know about him, would he hand over the central formation disk to someone else at such a time and leave the formation secretly by himself?"

Zhao Gong shook his head and said: "This is exactly what I don't understand. This guy is alert and cautious, and I have repeated orders to him. He will never give such an important thing to others, let alone leave the formation. Unless He was controlled by someone else."

The man surnamed Yang said: "What if this person is you? Will he hand over the array to you, and follow your orders to leave the array quietly."

Zhao Gongdao: "When the Demon Sect entered the formation, I was still in Broken Ridge Mountain Square City. I can accept any form of sect investigation."

The man surnamed Yang said: "Brother Zhao, I'm not saying that you ordered Zheng Jian to do this. I'm asking, if it was your order, would he hand over the array to you and leave the array by himself."

Zhao Gong didn't understand what he meant, but still nodded.

The man surnamed Yang said: "Then we can be sure that only senior brother Zhao can order Zheng Jian to hand over the central formation disk and leave the big formation quietly. In reverse, ask him to hand over the formation disk, and the person who left the big formation is Senior Brother Zhao .”

"I..." Just as Zhao Gong was about to speak, the man surnamed Yang interrupted: "From this, it can be concluded that someone has falsely used the identity of Senior Brother Zhao, defrauded Zheng Jian of the formation disk, and made him leave the formation. In this way If so, everything makes sense.”

"This person was afraid of revealing his identity, so he had to kill Zheng Jian to silence him first, so as not to escape in the chaos of the war, so Zheng Jian quietly left the big formation and fell into a trap."

"Including the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine incident last time, this person also used the same method."

"After the big camp was breached, I immediately thought of the Xuanyue Mountain incident back then. The two are almost the same, so yesterday I went to the archives of the Secret Security Division to look through the files of the Xuanyue Mountain Incident Investigation Team, and saw a very interesting one. inferences."

"In the investigation team back then, some people speculated that Xiao Sihua, who controlled the center of the great formation, had died before the Demon Sect entered the Great Formation, but no one noticed. I can't find him, including his body."

"Someone took his central formation disk after killing him, opened the large formation, and let the Demon Sect enter. Otherwise, it is impossible for a spirit mine master who holds the central formation disk to remain silent after the Demon Sect invaded." , no one even found him."
